HC Deb 07 November 1968 vol 772 cc142-3W
Mr. Arthur Davidson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is satisfied with the workings of the Criminal Justice Act with reference to majority verdicts; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

Majority verdicts in criminal trials in England and Wales have been possible since 1st October, 1967. I believe that they are taking their place satisfactorily in our system of criminal justice.
